TWICE has made new history for K-pop girl groups by drawing approximately 550,000 audiences through their North American Tour alone.
TWICE is currently successfully carrying out their world tour 'THIS IS FOR' across the globe. Starting in Incheon and passing through Asia and Australia, their North American tour included 20 cities with a total of 35 shows, marking their largest-ever North American tour.
According to JYP Entertainment on the 24th, TWICE drew 550,000 audiences from their North American tour alone. With this, TWICE set a new record as the K-pop girl group with the most audiences in North America of all time. The agency added, "TWICE was originally scheduled for 22 shows across 20 cities, but as the tickets sold out quickly, additional shows were added in cities like Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Dallas, Washinton D.C., Belmont Park, Hamilton, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, and Austin. Meanwhile, two more shows were added in Los Angeles."
This tour featured a 360-degree open stage that face all seating sections, offering an immersive experience for the audience. Whenever mega-hit songs like 'I Can't Stop Me,' 'Moonlight Sunrise,' 'The Feels,' and 'Fancy' began playing, fans erupted in cheers and excitement.
Furthermore, the energy peaked during the members' solo stages and the performances of 'Strategy,' a track from their 14th mini-album that gained long-running popularity on the U.S. Billboard HOT 100, as well as the Netflix original 'K-pop Demon Hunters' OST, 'Takedown (Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung).'
At their final stop in Austin on the 18th, a special video prepared by local fans was shown, moving the members. They shared, "We are heading toward the end of April now. Since starting the North American tour in January, we have done over 30 shows. Hearing our ONCEs tell us that we have worked hard really makes it feel like the end. Thank you to all the fans who came to see TWICE."
After setting another record in North America, the top K-pop girl group TWICE is also set to achieve another milestone in Japan. On April 25, 26, and 28, they will become the first foreign artists in history to hold a solo concert at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo for three days. With a maximum capacity of 80,000 people per show, the National Stadium is a massive venue where TWICE will once again elevate their reputation as both the first foreign artist and also the first K-pop girl group to perform there.
Starting with hall and arena venues from 2018 to 2020, TWICE become the first K-pop girl group to hold three consecutive concerts at Tokyo Dome in 2022. Later in 2023, they performed solo soncerts at four major venues in Japan, including Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, Vantelin Dome in Nagoya, and PayPay Dome in Fukuoka. In 2024, they also became the first K-pop girl group to enter Nissan Stadium, the largest stadium in Japan, showing their unrivaled presence.
JYP Entertainment emphasized, "As TWICE celebrates their 9th Japanese debut anniversary this year, standing at the symbolic venue in the Japanese music market, Japan National Stadium, once again solidifies their status as a legendary girl group with a solid local fandom, public popularity, and immense ticket power."
